What they are really saying is prepare for a lot of layoffs

Hardest I've laughed at a CB post for a long long time.

Because your leadership says so, it's going to happen?

Absent discovery of a cure, I think you are right

They must not have heard the news yet that an immunization is now in human trial phase.

Surely there is time that could be reduced in this situation.

Herd immunity from infection will lower the R0 to the pandemic ending.

Is your company the CDC?

The virus could stick around that long

The leadership team at my company says things too. They are usually wrong.

A vaccine will hopefully be available sooner than 18 months. Now work from

I very much doubt it gets that bad. Just my opinion.

And your company knows this how? Or just speculating worst case scenarios?

cougarnerd

I imagine worst-case scenarios. I ran one for our company out to next Spring

absent a vaccine, and cheap fast testing, maybe.

I think it is very wishful thinking to think the rest of the country has peaked

More like, the rest of the country never really started. With travel turned down

You haven’t read any of his posts before apparently

BYU '80

4/2/20 9:41pm

It’s not hard if you stop and think about how test availability has ramped up.

antiyewt

4/2/20 9:53pm

And you have such a tendency for being optimistic through all of this

BYU '80

Huge surprise. This guy predicts doomsday. Economy shut off for 18 mos = ruin

shammy

4/2/20 10:19pm

Well good news, if this lasts longer than 4 months nobody will have to worry...

Correct. Gotta factor that in at some point
